By teaming up together before November, Obama and Gore could finally resolve the dilemma of how to win in the American electoral arena while speaking out on global warming.

Hillary Clinton is being talked about as a possible vice president; her supporters say she is the strongest choice, and that anyone else is inferior. But Al Gore is certainly the most qualified for the job.

One must assume that Hillary did it for herself as well as for Bill -- Hillary was never a wallflower. She made definitive decisions.

The Democrats have a shot at capturing the four Congressional seats open in the state, and since it's one of the few pure toss-ups at the top of the ticket, voters expect to see much of McCain and Obama.

The result of the White House spin, and the complicity of the press corp. in it, has been the deaths of more than 4,000 U.S. servicemen and women and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians.

If you stand back and look at the environmental issues facing the world -- they're not likely to be solved by a single group or discipline.

Gore took a bullet for the party in 2000. The GOP cheated in FL and everyone knew it. But his sacrifice has been squandered by Clinton. Thanks to her, the GOP no longer has the market on voting fraud.

When it comes to global warming, the U.S. thinks they are the center of the world.

Al Gore's gas-guzzling jet. Fabric-damaging flag pins. Drunken jerk candidates. Candidate no-shows. All that and more on display at this past week's other political party convention in Denver.

I realize now George W. Bush didn't steal the election from Al Gore. It was stolen for him by Jim Baker III and his team of legal snakes that included the U.S. Supreme Court.

Symbols matter. Elections are about perceptions. Once Hillary is put away, Obama will need Bill, so I suggest he improve his groveling. Hell, he secured that lapel pin and got that bowling ball down the lane, didn't he?

HBO's Recount shows that if the bullies had not gotten their way, then the Republicans would have obstructed the operation of Gore's administration and the nation would have been destroyed from the inside.
Harvey Wasserman | Posted 05.26.2008 | Media
Recount is long overdue. Now it's time for the media to finally face up to Act 2 of the GOP's rape of the American electoral system, and produce a piece of equal heft and clout about Ohio 2004.

These moments are memorable not because they are gaffes, but epiphanies, illuminating what many voters already think of a candidate. The images endure not because they were aberrations, but revelations.

"Recount" is a strong film, both dramatic and funny. While it may be more fiction than fact, it succeeds in one undeniable way: it reminds us of the many, many things that can go wrong with the election process.

Over at U.S. News and World Report we got a a top staffer from each side in the recount struggle to watch the movie and react to it.

The overwhelming presence of Obama in the broadcast media of South Dakota and Montana presupposes that Hillary has given up any serious chance to win these two primaries.

Will Americans never learn that who they think is a "nice guy" is no reason to elect a president? Apparently not.
